I have indeed tried Chergui. If you like cinnamon, you MAY like it. I thought it was weird though. It smelled like it should be deep and rich, and yet it felt papery thin. It was also really sweet. I don't mind sweet, especially considering that I'm a gourmand freak, but it felt like it was more sweet than it should be. Out of those I only tried Un Bois Vanille. I like vanilla, but I wasn't crazy about that one. It smelled oddly waxy.

Surprised at that to be honest... from reviews it sounds like it's quite potent. Or do you mean the actual scent and not the projection?

That's messed up!

I'd see about tracking down a generous member or maybe purchasing a decant from someone.

Oh I mean the actual scent. The projection and all of that is nuts. It's heavy and loud and sweet, and yet the scent itself feels thin. It's bizarre. I'm actually trying out a Lutens now. Santal de Mysore in fact. I tried it years ago when I was first getting into fragrances, and all it smelled like to me was pure sandalwood. Now I'm getting all the other facets, especially cumin and cinnamon. I also get a sort of caramel note, which I really enjoy. I'm not sure it's decant worthy, but I like it. I really wanna try Chêne too, since I'm curious as to what a scent based around oak would be like.

my signature scent is Lancome Tresor it just smells soft and powdery i always get complimented on it

Here's a tip for any UK girlies. Lidl (yes i know, but trust me) sell an eu de parfum for £3.99 called Suddenly Madame Glamour that smells just like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle look online it went head to head tests with it and was the winner. My sis wears the Chanel one and even she's bought this to wear for work etc, i mean at 4quid you can use like air freshener

Freedom by Tommy Hilfiger is a good one. And I use it, it definitely attracts the gals.
